Random Tigers articles from the media

While I love being able to read Tigers articles, it shits me off to no end how everything we do gets blasted in the media. There is no way you can tell me that there aren't at least 5 players in every top 30 roster that come back to training underdone. The scrutiny of our club is ridiculous.

The Jordan Miller thing is a bit worrying. If the bloke has a genuine excuse then I really don't think it's worth a sacking.
Yeah.

The article was a bit more in depth.

My understanding with the Miller thing, he was naughty a few times not just the Police visit, but if the club cited the Police thing, I agree it’s pretty bad ( provided that they knew about it).

81 women killed in dv related murders this year. Probably a few guys as well.

I’m not always pro-cop but this is DV, it’s pretty important to help them out.

I’m surprised that Faataape is one that turned up under done, while I don’t think he will be a main stay in FG, he did play a few games, would have expected better from all of them, but more so from him.
He's a big lad and big lads need to work harder imo to keep the weight in check. No excuse though.
I was thinking maybe it would have been better to keep this behind closed doors instead of telling the whole world we still stuff up. It does send a clear message though.
Late edit. Sorry @BrotherJim05 I just read your post and I've doubled up somewhat :(

IMO, the way I'm reading these player issues is, obviously things have to change, and new talent is needed.
No need to remind us, that it's been quite a while since we've seen success.
But a lot of the issues are about young blokes, they need to realise that the club is hunting for players and roster spots are gold, if you want to behave like a schoolboy, the club is looking for excuses to remove you.
All players, coaches and clubs have really only one metric that they are measured by, that is winning.
It's been over a decade, so I'm OK with this, it appears it may be long overdue.
They're all well paid, they either get on board or get off the train (we sold the bus) hahaha

Without fear there is no motivation. Even in the most pleasant work environment. About time Benj..

Jimbo, I feel your frustration.
I think the singling out out players who were warned should have stayed in house and I said this yesterday but it's been playing on my mind since.
Maybe a one off announcement wasn't such a bad thing and probably was a way to tell the world and more importantly the squad that all these spoons are unacceptable and things have changed. Players need to be 100% committed or pack your bags.
Now that the bar has been set I pray that's the last we hear of it or repeat occurrences of it.
I hope Rich doesn't get infected by the old Wests Tigers culture virus that I'm sure is still lurking in the abyss of the Tigers den.

The Wests Tigers are reportedly firming as the first team likely to be on the plane to Las Vegas for the 2026 edition of the NRL season opener.

Expressions by tiger players Woodsy and Beau Knows Best showing a bit of loyalty maybe :)
This is an old article but it got me thinking that we could be a real force come Vegas time in '26 and for once it would be awesome to watch us in the limelight for better reasons.

Hey Nutz,
I know this is the wrong thread but I wanted to ask a favor. Would you mind setting up the fantasy league comp again this year?
I have made a prelim team and I can't understand how rubbish it looks so far.
Glad I've got weeks to work on it.

@blue bags and I were discussing an NRL leagues club outpost at Vegas last year.

Im not keen to play Raiders slot machine.

5 Ricky’s in a row, you get 12 free spins ( his number of seasons) and all we know how that ends.

Well Ricky has certainly had a roster to win the comp. Do you think if Clearey or Bellyache had the reins at the Raiders would they have had more success?
